    13 WTF Moments of the Year: 2025 Crypto Edition

    The story of cryptocurrency’s rise to mainstream popularity is one of the most bizarre in history. Created by an anonymous, shadowy figure named Satoshi Nakamoto—who’s now among the richest people in the world—the technology is now a darling of finance bros, altruistic lefties, white supremacists, Balkan political dissidents, West African entrepreneurs, and Redditors convinced that Satoshi was in fact an alien. So it's hardly surprising that 2025 began with U.S. President Donald Trump launching...

    Creator Capital Markets: How Pump.fun Changed Streaming in 2025

    This time last year, the Solana meme coin launchpad Pump.fun had disabled its livestreaming feature after creators flooded the platform with videos of dangerous stunts in attempts to pump their tokens. Now, Pump.fun views streamers as the future of its platform, with plans to take on other livestreaming competitors head on: “Our plan is to kill Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch.

    How NFT Marketplaces Adapted to Survive in 2025

    NFT mania is a distant memory in 2025. It was an era—back in 2021 and early 2022—when Beeple sold a jpeg for $69.3 million, CryptoPunks were going for tens of millions, and celebrities kept aping into the Bored Ape Yacht Club.  The cumulative NFT market cap has dropped 99% from its 2023 all-time high of $184 billion to just $487 million, per CoinMarketCap. In what is now a comparatively barren wasteland, NFT marketplaces have been forced to adapt, with titans of the sector like OpenSea and Magic...

    The Year in Dogecoin 2025: DOGE Goes Political and Commercial

    It started as a joke, but this year, Dogecoin was embraced by institutions, bought up by public companies, and its namesake was shared with a highly controversial U.S. government initiative led by billionaire Elon Musk. Still, despite this, the original meme coin didn’t set a new all-time high—to the dismay of its diehard fanbase. As of December 15, DOGE has erased any gains made in 2025, falling about 65% over the course of 12 months. As a result, Dogecoin has had an awkward year; it has moved...

    How Pudgy Penguins Landed the Las Vegas Sphere—After Dogwifhat Couldn't

    Pudgy Penguins will wrap the Las Vegas Sphere for Christmas after debuting on the glowing venue on Tuesday. The crypto-native brand's recent announcement sent some traders into a meltdown, as the community behind Solana meme coin Dogwifhat (WIF) failed to advertise on the venue earlier this year despite raising $700,000 in an attempt to do so—funds the team later refunded to contributors. A Sphere spokesperson previously told Decrypt that it would only accept crypto advertising from exchanges or...

    GG Story of the Year 2025: Crypto Gaming Collapses as Funding Dries Up

    This was the year that, for many, the crypto gaming dream died. But that dream didn't end on its own—it was smothered by venture capitalists who stopped believing in it, and crucially, stopped investing in it. In 2025, numerous notable crypto games shut down their operations, which Decrypt has tracked throughout the year. These closures left developers unemployed, dedicated player bases abandoned, and entire collections of digital assets rendered practically useless. Some of these titles even pr...

    Crypto Industry Must Make Progress Before Trump Leaves Office: Etherealize Co-Founder

    Donald Trump has been branded a pro-crypto president, thanks to his administration’s passage of crypto legislation. However, some industry observers say his personal stake in the future of crypto—via companies the Trump family has backed—has stood in the way of progress, and threatens to cause further backlash once he leaves office. Danny Ryan, co-founder of institutional marketing firm Etherealize and a former Ethereum developer, told Decrypt recently that this threat of retaliation from a new...

Now, three years later, Yan appears to have been vindicated. After co-founding Hyperliquid Labs in 2023, Yan has helped develop one of the most impactful decentralized exchanges and layer-1 netw...

He had previously pleaded guilty to fraud by abuse of position and transfer of criminal property. The former Pump.fun employee had already spent 308 days on tag, the Court said, 154 of which will count towards his sentence. He had also spent approximately five months in prison on remand, which typically automatically counts towards an individual’s sentence. The s...

    Hackers from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, also known as the DPRK or North Korea, have stolen $2.02 billion worth of crypto so far in 2025, a Chainalysis report revealed Thursday. This represents a 51% increase from last year’s figure, and is the largest year on record for DPRK-related crypto theft. As a whole, crypto has seen $3.4 billion in thefts this year, the report says, meaning that DPRK attacks account for 59% of these stolen funds. Chainalysis believes that the data shows a...

    Video game retailer GameStop's stock has fallen more than 3% so far on Wednesday after the company revealed that its quarterly sales and profits were stagnant—and that its Bitcoin treasury has dropped in value alongside BTC’s sinking price. GameStop bought $512 million worth of Bitcoin in May, making it one of the many publicly traded U.S. companies adopting digital asset treasuries. GME shares had been on a gradual 30% decline since that moment until its late Tuesday earnings call, from $33 to...

Rizzmas soared to a $94.26 million market cap in late November last year, before crashing 98% to $1.76 million by the new year.

While this appears to provide a buffer to prevent the company from selling part of its 3.1% stake in the total Bitcoin supply, Strategy did not rule out potentially having to sell BTC—with the company’s CEO mapping out what the future might look like if it did.
